Eric has played drums since the tender age of five. He was taught to play by the legendary big band drummer Johnny Sawyer thus making Eric a rare breed of music reading drummers.
Eric started his career backing acts in various clubs in the North West of England at the age of 13 and he has worked with the likes of Emile Ford, Bill Tarmey, Jane McDonald among others, plus he has worked for Granada TV (ITV). He has also worked in various bands and has toured Britain extensively.
At the age of 40 he hung up his sticks and called it a day until some old friends asked him to play in a band, it was; Patrick, Phil, Paul and Jim... Eric said, "How could I refuse?"
